not yours, the revieweds

lol I literally thought those comments were April fools jokes. They can't be serious. I do seriously feel I got trolled though, but it looks like this has happened in the past?

Not recommended. Senior undergrad at Princeton. 3.9 GPA. Hertz finalist. E/VG E/VG VG/VG I don't understand how I didn't even get HM lol. Comments were strange and contradictory. One guy said "stellar letters of recommendation" while another said "letters were not strongly supportive." What? One guy said "lack of publications." I'm a undergrad with a first author journal paper in a high impact factor journal. can you expect more than this from an undergrad? This last one was so strange "lack of research experience, but excellent outreach." He must've gotten that backwards or he's trolling me or he's just a dumbass. I got nailed for formatting by all 3, which was legit. Didn't know they cared about that. Some positive comments: "Impeccable academic and research record from Princeton." "Stellar letters from members of the national academies" "Excellent outreach" lol'ed hard at this. I didn't talk about outreach at all since I didn't have any consistent experience with this. Idk who's ass he pulled this out of Some other negative comments "Letters were not strongly supportive" lol this guy...troll? "Organization lacks in appeal" apologies, I've never been known for fashion. "Lack of research experience" I don't even fucking....bertstare.jpg I will not be applying again after reading these comments. I'm more disappointed in that they appeared to not have looked at my app based on the very peculiar and contradictory comments than not receiving the aWard. Also can I file complaints about reviewers? I honestly don't care about the reward since my offers at schools are bigger than NSFs but I do want to find out how some incompetent guy managed to review my app. Congrats to everyone else.

Just checked my mailbox and to my pleasant surprise was my GRFP offer in cash. Seriously? You guys make the biggest deal about troll posts

Last years is not available but previous years still show up

Yeah...no. I fail to understand how that would be funny

I think you're going to enjoy UCSB a little too much though.

I'm assuming you post refers to the angry posters that keep disliking people's posts. If that's the case, I agree.

Lol some kid said he got the grfp on the results page today.

I thought it might help out future users to see a compilation of acceptance rates. This statistic might have been revealed to some of you who attended graduate student visit days. I only attended 3 visit weekends, so please add to this if you can. Include university name, department, year and semester you applied for, and acceptance rate. University of Michigan Aerospace Engineering - <10% for Fall 2014 (13% for Fall 2013) Cornell University Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering - ~12% Fall 2014 Northwestern Mechanical - I recall in the high teens, but I'm not very positive.

Does anyone know when Gatech and UIUC's Visit days are? Or have they already passed? I'm in aerospace engineering, but I think aero is scheduled to be the same with the other engineering disciplines.

So I only saw a couple UMich aero acceptances on gradcafe. Not sure if this is because that a lot people who were accepted didn't post, if UMich didn't accept many people this year, or they haven't made most of their decisions yet (this last one seems most likely since I haven't seen any rejections either on gradcafe). Visit weekend starts this coming Thursday. Is anyone going?

Lol

Nice. I wonder what's taking them so long with the others.

Has anyone heard from michigan or heard of someone getting a notification?
